Data Center Description
NATIONAL REMOTE SENSING CENTRE http://www.nrsc.co.uk/ One of the primary roles of the NRSC is to introduce new users to satellite imagery and demonstrate how the data can be used for a variety of applications. The objectives of the NRSC are to supply remote sensing data and imagery; assist British Industry in its remote sensing activities; to provide facilities for research into and development of data processing, analysis and interpretive techniques; to act as a focal point for the development of remote sensing techniques and their application; to provide education and training facilities in remote sensing.
